In order for a photo story to gain depth and a real meaning, it needs more than the aftermath of a beautiful face merging together with a powerful vision. It also requires a soul, a link able to connect two worlds apart. Evoking the old Hollywood glamour of the 1940s and 1950s, Peter Coulson aligned it all in perfect harmony: Nicole Gregurek’s incredible grace as it reflected Peter Janson’s amazing Rutherglen home.

A 6 floors, 34 room Melbourne wonderland, decorated with furniture ranging from the Gilded Age to the 21st Century, the captain’s Rutherglen house provided both the history and the atmosphere that allowed Peter Coulson to put his imagination and creativity at work. The resulting photo shoot feels like a step back in time, glamorous and alluring, celebrating the authentic femininity and redefining the concept of fine art.

Featuring hair and make-up by Vicious Creative, the photographs were shot as part of an upcoming exhibition Peter Coulson is due to host in New York.
